Brköut

About

Brköut is a side-scrolling action game where you smash bricks to progress through surreal environments. You control a character that bounces and breaks obstacles in a world filled with glitchy visuals and oddball physics. The gameplay mixes platforming with puzzle elements as you adjust your trajectory to clear each level. The twist comes from the bizarre art style and the way time seems to loop unpredictably, affecting how you approach challenges. The game’s offbeat charm comes from its chaotic design choices. Fisher Wagg’s development notes hint at a love letter to 90s arcade games with a modern experimental edge. While community feedback is split over the inconsistent difficulty spikes, its cult following has grown since its 2017 release. The publisher’s name alone gives you a hint about what to expect.
